/cfg/cert #/cert

b Paste the certificate at the command prompt.

c

Press Enter to create a new line, and then enter an ellipsis
(...) to terminate.

d If you are pasting in the private key at the same time, and if

the key has been password protected, you are prompted to
enter the password phrase. The password phrase required is
the one specified when the key was created or exported.

4

Apply the changes.

If you obtained the certificate by using the

/cfg/cert

#/request

command to generate the CSR and are using the

same certificate number, the certificate is now fully installed.

If you obtained the certificate by means other than using the

/cfg/cert #/request

command to generate the CSR and

are using a new certificate number, you must now add the
corresponding private key (see

“Adding a private key to the

Nortel SNAS ” (page 312)

).

Figure 16 "Adding a certificate by pasting" (page 312)

shows

sample output for the

/cfg/cert #/cert

command. For

more information about the Certificate menu commands, see

“Managing and viewing certificates and keys” (page 302)

.

ATTENTION

Depending on the type of certificate the CA generates (registered or
chain), your certificate may be substantially different from the sample
output. Be sure to copy and paste the entire contents of the certificate
file.
